CISF Seizes 4kg Morphine at Imphal Airport: Major Drug Smuggling Bid Foiled

IMPHAL, Feb 28, 2026 — In a major crackdown on narcotics trafficking, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) successfully intercepted a massive morphine smuggling attempt at Imphal Airport yesterday. During a routine security sweep on February 27, alert CISF personnel flagged two departing passengers after observing suspicious behavior during the initial profiling process.

Upon escalating the matter, their registered baggage was diverted for an intensive X-ray screening, which revealed anomalies in the density at the base of the suitcases. A meticulous physical examination subsequently uncovered expertly stitched false bottoms designed to evade detection, concealing four high-grade packets of suspected morphine weighing approximately 4.178 kg.

Following the discovery, the suspects were immediately detained and handed over to local narcotics authorities along with the seized contraband for further interrogation and legal action. This high-value seizure highlights the unwavering alertness and professional commitment of the CISF in maintaining the integrity of national aviation security and combatting the flow of illegal substances across state borders.
